Please report on your gas mileage - tell us about your driving style, city/highway mix, mods, odometer, octane used, or anything you think will help others compare their mpg to yours. Thanks.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 21, 2006 1:31 pm) I have a new Sequoia with 650 miles on it. I am getting 12 mpg, overall. It started out getting 10.5 and has slowly improved. This is a combined travel schedule... half town and half freeway. I am using A/C. Will I get any better mileage on the road once it gets broken in? Can anyone help me with this issue?

Replying to: bigboytoy (Jul 24, 2006 2:53 pm) What fuel is everyone using? I have been putting regular in it during the break-in. I am going to tow a car home next week. Should I be using mid-grade or premium for freeway use? The book says 89 octane. Mid-grade should do it, right? Replies to this message: kumar (Aug 21, 2006 3:07 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 21, 2006 1:31 pm) My 05 SR5 is at 15.3 on the trip computer. 40K miles, mostly urban with 2 - 3 300 mile highway trips per month. I've got a Toyota Camry Hybrid on order (arriving in 2 weeks) and will keep the Sequoia for all its advantages, especially during a Minnesota winter. Gas is 89 octane w/ 10% ethanol. Has anyone done any research on the after market conversion to e-85 products for this vehicle?

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 21, 2006 1:31 pm) I have a 2001 Limited Sequoia about 60%city and 40%highway and I only use regular gas since I bought it, according to the computer I'm doing 15.6 mpg but after I replaced 20"wheels it went down to 15.2 mpg but it was not that bad.
#9 of 23 2005 sequoia gas milage by chamaza Feb 09, 2007 (1:21 pm)
i immediately put a K/N filter. drilled several 1" holes in bottom of filter box to increase air flow, put in a tornado, and changed to AMSOIL 2000 synthetic 10w30. within 1000 miles i was getting, and still getting, 17.5 mpg. it sounds great when you put your foot in it to pass. it gives it that old 4 bbl intake sound. plus, it does get up and go. try it. it is a modest investment for the results. check AMSOIL. it is a oil that has to be bought through a dealer, not off the shelf. the guarentee is unbelievable. priced competively. i use it in my Porsche turbo, ford festiva, and toyota highlander. i have used it for too many years to remember. it has never let me down. i'm anxious for the new sequoia. i got a feeling it is going to be too pricey. it will be replacing or into that land cruiser/lexus money. too bad!

#10 of 23 2001 Sequoia 134,000 miles by jerrydock Jul 25, 2008 (9:17 am)
I am consistently AVERAGING 18.5 MPG.   Amsoil synthetic oil. K& N filter. Goodyear TriPlex tires. Awesome vehicle; now if I can get my rear lift gate handle replaced without losing a finger I will be good to go.
